Khorixas was previously the capital of the
Damaraland bantustan prior to Namibia's independence. Huab Lodge began
as an idea to generate funds to save the desert-dwelling elephant from
being harassed and shot. The original farmland was in a small area called
Monte Carlo, which boasts stunning views, bisected by the mostly dry Huab
River.

Huab Lodge began as an idea to generate funds to save
the desert-dwelling elephant from being harassed and shot. The original
farmland was in a small area called Monte Carlo, which boasts stunning
views, bisected by the mostly dry Huab River.
The lodge was erected on a special site just down river from the old
rest camp, where the Germans built the so-called German Bath in the late
1800's.
Despite its size, the unique main building blends well into its surroundings.
The irregular thatch roof mirrors a mountain on the opposite bank.
The stone and thatch bungalows spread along the elevated north bank of
the river, ensuring a private and magnificent view - even from the shower!
The main building at Huab Lodge has an enormous thatch roof with open
sides, giving their guests the impression of being on the outside, but
well in the shade.
There is a cozy seating arrangement, with a well-assorted reference library,
not to mention a photographic collection of Haub Lodge's guests. A permanent
coffee and tea bar is laid out here.
The long dining table and some other tables and chairs are made of heavy
Rhodesian Teak sleepers.
The easy chairs have colourful handmade cushions.
Natural rock islands protrude into this area and have been decorated with
somewhat rather curious details.
A small curio shop and the bar fill up the remaining space.
Huab lodge Accommodation
Accommodation is in 8 spacious, stone and thatch bungalows, sleeping
a maximum of 16 guests.
They all have a large private patio, and include a separate en-suite toilet,
two hand-wash basins with mirrors.
Even the shower has a view.
Each room has two king size beds, and large windows enable an abundance
of natural light to stream inside.
The view across to the Huab River from here is wonderful.
Tea and coffee making facilities are set out. Mosquito nets, a ceiling
fan, and a torch are also on hand, as well as biologically degradable
soaps and shampoo.

The 24hr, 220v power supply comes from the silent solar energy plant concealed
on the hill. The chemically untreated water has a neutral pH value.
Huab Lodge has an aromatherapist who offers reflexology and aromatherapy
massages in the privacy of the bungalow or at the thermal spring. These
treatments have proved extremely popular with their guests since its inclusion.
Use of the swimming pool with its decorative island is recommended, and
you can also enjoy a wallow in the thermal spring, which contains soothing
and healing minerals.
The temperature fluctuates around 37 to 39 degrees Centigrade, and the
pool is shaded by an attractive thatch roof. There is a cool plunge-pool
next to the thermal spring.
